I give it a B-. It was clever, but not that funny. The dialogue b/w the two lesbians was the funniest part. Came off as too whiny and fear-mongering.

You're too generous with your grade. Anywone who laughed at this has impaired humor. By the way, Earl Warren, who wrote Brown v. Board of Education and built the 9-0 consensus in its favor, was a Republican appointed by a Republican president. So at least in that respect the video is historically inaccurate, as well as lacking artistry and subtlety.

Maybe you should lighten up. It's just a little fun.

No, I just have high standards for humor. Believe me, I'm eager for some good poking fun at social conservatives and even Bush republicans. I felt this video was klunky, and heavy handed. It was also smug in a pretentious and false pride, even dogmatic kind of way, the Brown v. Board of Education gaffe being a prime example. Kind of like Mormons anticipating the Second Coming in Jackson County, MO making fun of Baptists anticipating the rapture. It just wasn't funny.

Can you imagine of the Republicans tried to pull off some crappy humor like this stuff.

They do it all the time.

Seriously, lighten up.

Was it supposed to be funny? Seems like pretty standard Democrat fear-mongoring that one can hear straight from Dem Politicians.

Hopefully Obama can put an end to this type of divisiveness.

Just like every political commercial you see on television. I pity the fool whose vote is actually swayed by media clips like this.

The grimness being exhibited is something to behold.

And it isn't good.

So you don't think it's funny?

Big deal.

Get over yourselves already.

To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
